Manwë Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Never understood this fascination with wanting to go back to a time of war. Here's a better idea, have a 2040's or 2140's Weekend, and let's see what the future looks like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandypants Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Please no. I hate all of this grown people dressing up as something they’re not malarkey. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Crawshaw Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Middle aged men dressing up as WW2 soldiers, even Nazis. Just weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every weekend loads of middle aged blokes go stadiums dressed up as footballers half their age. You can even buy the replica football kits, just like the ones the players wear! You must hate it. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOFABI Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Down where I live there's small towns that do 1920s theme nights and stuff and they are a good laugh. I think they work better in smaller towns than big cities, but I support the idea of a VE/VJ Day festival sort of thing. I think German, Japanese, or Soviet uniforms would be inappropriate though.

Musn't Grumble Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Reminds me of the old gag... We were a bit poor when I was a lad in the 50s. To make ends meet, mum had to get the family's clothes from the Army Surplus store. I felt a bit of a two hat going to primary school each morning dressed as a Japanese admiral. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musingowl Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 That looks like a nice, middle England Village which looks like it very much has one foot in the past. Wouldn't look quite as good on the pictures on Fargate with boarded up Topshop and spice heads in the background. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tewkesbury Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 In 50 years we could have a 2020 weekend where politicians have massive parties and everyone else stays in and tries to teach fractions ro kids. 1 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Sheffield never does it, because there is always someone who gets offended on behalf of the people that are not offended. weekend like at Haworth are great celebration of where we came from, they also got a lancaster bomber fly-over which was amazing. but this would never happen in Sheffield, we dont even celebrate our patron saint. Every other country does their but we don't. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every other country does their but we don't. ? I don't get it. Just because things were in the past it really does not make it 'better'..talk about nostalgia overload. Lancaster bombers flattened German cities and killed thousands of normal people. what the heck are people celebrating exactly? you still falling for the national thing? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
